– – – – –In other words: Lingonberries are my favourite! They are not too sweet, and they work really well in this cake, which really tastes like autumn to me. It is quite large, and therefore perfect for social gatherings this time of year!
You’ll need 200 grams of butter, 230 grams of sugar, 250 grams of flour, 4 eggs, 1 decilitre of sour cream, 1 decilitre of lingonberry jam (preferable not the cooked kind, but the stirred kind), 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Also, If you’ve got some extra berries you can sprinkle them on top with another couple of tablespoons of sugar!Start by preheating the oven and covering a small baking tray with parchment paper. Combine sugar and butter until white and creamy, and then add the eggs, one by one, and stir well after each. Add the sour cream and the lingonberry jam. Then add sifted flour, vanilla sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. Stir carefully until well combined and smooth. Pour the batter into the pan and add sugar and berries (if using).
Put the pan into the lower part on the oven and bake the cake for about 40 minutes (depending on your oven), and check with a sharp knife if it’s done. Then remove it, let it cool for five minutes in the tray before taking it out, cutting it up (I make about 20 pieces) and digging in. This cake can be served with some extra sour cream or jam, or with ice cream or whipped cream on the side. Or on its own, of course.
Enjoy!
